“Spam U Am” & other thoughts on site performance

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

I’ve made a number of changes to this site to improve performance. As is the case of many blogs with good Google rankings, I’ve been getting a fair amount of comment spam. Comment spammers are coming to this blog and posting their gibberish in some of the earliest posts. Apparently, some people who want good [...]

Latest Site Changes

Monday, March 6th, 2006

I’ve just completed a new round of changes to this site: 1. I’ve created a page with info on my 3d art galleries. 2. I’ve changed the MISFIT’S JOURNEY Comments Page so that you can page through the comments. (This way you don’t have to look at all of them at once — they’re definitely [...]

MISFIT’S JOURNEY: The First Week

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

Not long after I activated the series page for MJ and started sending around my press release, I started feeling somewhat anxious. I worked extremely hard on the first MJ story. I was quite happy with the 3d artwork and all that I had learned about 3d art over the course of doing the story. [...]

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

As of right now, both the MISFIT’S JOURNEY and the BenAdamsArts websites are now officially out of their “under construction” phases. All the changes I wanted to make have been made and the first episode of MJ is now appearing on my Webcomicsnation site. You can check out the press release announcing this here. It [...]

Why Mediawarpcomics.com is no longer the name of this site

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

Not too long ago I promised to explain why I changed the name of this site. Here’s the explanation. The first time that I ever mentioned the name “BenAdamsArts.com” was in this post. The post hints at some of the possible reasons for the change, but it really doesn’t give all of them either. To [...]

Overview of post-LiveJournal changes to my blog

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005

Here’s a rundown on all the major changes to my blog that are related to the move from LiveJournal to WordPress. This post may be of interest to people who have been following the old blog as well as people who’ve found me on the ‘net for the first time. Comments and questions are welcome. [...]

Traffic, traffic, who’s got the traffic?

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

I’m sitting here looking at my list of things I want to do to prior to the launch of MISFIT’S JOURNEY over on Webcomics Nation. I want to write up an outline of the changes I’ve made to this blog since moving from LiveJournal. I was starting to write the outline, and I started to [...]

All major tweaking is done.

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

I’ve tested this site on all major browsers for both Windows and the Mac, and it looks fine in all of them. I’ve been spending a lot of time making sure this site is being indexed properly by all the major search engines. (I’m extremely happy with the number of pages I have indexed by [...]

Everything seems to be working fine.

Sunday, November 6th, 2005

It appears that my migration to WordPress has been a big success. I’m still planning to tweak this site a bit over the next week, but it’s definitely in good enough shape to take the place of the old site. I don’t have the time right now to go into all the how’s and why’s [...]

The new WordPress blog goes live!

Sunday, November 6th, 2005

As I write this, I’m just about to pull down the old version of BenAdamsArts.com and make this blog go live. (I’m moving it from a hidden “development directory” to the root directory of BenAdamsArts.com.) I’m hopeful that the switchover will be a smooth one, but, if the site exhibits strange behavior, it’s because of [...]

What’s up with my blog and my new autobiographical series?

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

First of all, the autobiographical story I’ve been blogging about here has been finished for a couple weeks. I may polish up a panel or two before I spring the whole thing loose on the unsuspecting public, but it’s essentially done. So what’s holding me up? Why isn’t it up on the web? Well, I’m [...]
